The Pixel Character Picked the Wrong Husband

[Novel Blurb]

Qiu Lin lives in a remote village on the edge of a forest.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Every day, he works hard to grow vegetables, raise a few chickens, ducks, and fish, and give directions to the strangers who suddenly appear.

Life is peaceful and fulfilling, except that people keep stealing his vegetables!

He decides to find himself a strong partner.

Aside from vanishing at set times, his partner is perfect in every way.

Fair skin, long legs, an eight-pack, a love of his cooking, and always ready to chop firewood or catch the thieves stealing vegetables from the farm.

Then one day, after awakening, he discovers that his partner is the number one player on the server.

And he himself is just a little pixel person in a game, the kind a player could kill with a single swing of a sword at any moment.

Things get terrifying.

As the iron-fisted CEO of a tech giant in Country A, Ling Xiao is under immense pressure at work. His only way to unwind each day is to log into a game with an extraordinary degree of freedom.

He likes watching a little pixel person.

The vegetables this NPC diligently grows every day are always stolen by new players.

Like clockwork, when the pixel person discovers the theft, whatever he is holding drops to the ground, and an exclamation mark appears over his head.

Later, Ling Xiao falls in love with the pixel person in the game.

Every day, he slaughters his way through map dungeons, covered in the blood of other NPC bosses, then returns to the starter village to find him.

From far away, the little pixel person bounces up and down, waving at him. When he touches him, rosy pixels appear on his cheeks along with pink bubbles.

But at some point, the pixel person starts acting strangely and no longer snuggles up to him.

His sword keeps turning up in piles of farm manure. After drinking the vegetable soup the pixel person made with his own hands, he wakes up with just one sliver left on his health bar.

One day, the pixel person abandons his vegetable patch and little chicks and runs away.

To find him, Ling Xiao searches every dungeon map. NPCs across the entire game are terrified as a result.

Later, players across the server all witness, to some extent, the same sight:

A pixel person in a straw hat from the starter village, wandering all over the game map.

This farmer NPC has almost no attack power. He can only stay in the starter village, and if he leaves, other players are sure to kill him.

Yet several days pass, and still no one dares go near the little NPC.

Because following right behind him is the number one player on the server, a powerhouse with a 99% map exploration rate who never fails to defeat a boss: Ling Xiao.

This is what the scene looks like to players and NPCs passing by:

The powerhouse player follows one step behind him, and a dialogue box displays the options:

Yes ✅ or No ❌

The powerhouse's dialogue box: Baby, I'm sorry T_T. I was wrong. Please forgive me.

The pixel person walks on with his head down, swinging his arms furiously. His chat box displays a row of red crosses: ❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌
